- The invention relateswto chutes for cellar windows and has for its object the provision of a chute including a plate adapted to be pivotally mounted in a window casing and having flanges thereon .to form the sides of the chute, thezplate being adapted to form a Closure for the window in one of its posir tions, provision being made for limiting the movement of the chute to open position comprising U-shaped members pivotally secured to the flanges, onefof' the ends of said U-shaped members being adapted to vengage the top of the window casing when thechute is moved into open position, while theother ends of the U-shaped members have'plates "secured thereto forming a shield vfor the side of the building adjacent to thewindow toprevent marring the building when the chute is in use, stops being provided on the flanges to limit the movement of the U- shaped members when the chute is opened and closed. I

The invention will be described in detail hereinafter and will be found illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front view of a window casing showing the chute in position and closing the window opening, V

Figure 2 a vertical sectional view one plane indicated by theline 2-2 of Figure 1, and

Figure 3 a view on a similar plane showing the chute in open position.

In the drawings similar reference characters will be used to designate corresponding parts in the several views.

The improved coal chute is shown in the d 'awings in position in a window casing A,

B being strips on the inner side of the cas-. 111g against which the plate 1 o'f the chute engages when in closed position as shown in Figuresl and 2. Plate 1 is pivotally mountt ed in the sides of the window casing A as shown at 2, the sides of the casing being preferably formed withbayonet slots 8 to admit of removal and replacement of the chute in the casing. Sideflanges 4; extend rearwardly of the plate 1 and together with said plate 1 form the chute for directing coal or other material through the window Y casing. Pivotally'secured to each flange 4 is a U-sha'ped'arm 5, and 6 is a stop on each chute.

of the flanges that is adapted to engage said of the window casing A and assumes the po- 'sition shown'in Fi'gure 2 to limitthe outward movement of the chute while the other ends of said arms 5, designated 8 are connecte'd by a plate 9, that forms .a shield for v theside of the'building abovethe window casing to prevent marring the building when dumping coalinto the chute. The stops 6 are" preferably formed removable softha't the arms 5 mayjassume an inverted'position when'it .is' desired to remove and replace the chute, 'it being clearly understood that the 'chut'e'may be'then swung downwardly outside ofthe'window casing sothat the pivot 2 may be removed from the bayonet slots 3, such, removal being impossible when the flanges lfe angaging the strips B across the top "of the window casing. 10 is ahandle for convenience in opening and closing the What is claimed is e a 1. A coal chute for cellar windows, coinprising a plate adaptedtobe 'pivota-lly se cured in, a window casing and engaging,

strips :on said casing in closedposition, flanges on sanlplate, U-shaped members chute is in operative posit-ion'because of the".

pivot-ally secured toisaid flanges, one of the ends of said U-shapcd m'en'ibers'being adapted to engage the top of the window casing tohold the chute in open position, and a plate connecting the other ends of said U- shaped members and "forming a shield.

2. A coal chute for cellar windows, comprising a plate adapted to be pivotally secured in a window casing and forming a closure therefor in one position, flanges on said plate, U-shaped arms pivotally"secru'ed to said flanges, one of the ends of saidarms adapted to engage thetop oi the windoiv casing to hold the chute in open 130551131011, a plate connecting the other ends of said U shaped arms and forming a shield when the:

chute is open, and stops on said flanges and engaging said arms to :limit their movements.
